Michael Bublé didn’t think he’d come back to music after his son’s cancer battle

Michael
Bublé
has a lot to say about love and has since the day he
broke into the music world with his first hit single,
Home, in 2005. He’s not shy about showing it – especially when it
comes to his beautiful family of five, including his wife,
Luisana
Lopilato
, and kids Noah, 5, Elias, 2,
and two-month-old
Vida.
After a two-year hiatus while his eldest son battled cancer, the Canadian
crooner is back with a video for his new song “When I Fall In Love,” as well as
an upcoming album – but he wasn’t always sure it would happen.

Though the new track and album love (set to release on Nov. 16) call the mind the Michael fans
have loved for more than a decade, his life changed drastically when Noah
was
diagnosed with cancer
two years ago. Michael and actress Luisana
put their busy careers on hold to tend to their son, who has since recovered.
It really put into perspective what’s important in life, Michael said in a
statement. “I didn’t anticipate returning to recording or performing and I was
fine with that. My entire worldview has changed completely these last few
years. I wanted to spend all my time with my wife and kids. That was my focus.”

The father of three was overwhelmed with the love and
support he received from his adoring fans – so much so, that he just had to
express it. “During that time, I also learned how much love and humanity is out
in the world from the prayers and good wishes we received. But slowly, along
with understanding what my priorities in life are, I began to feel a new
commitment to express the emotions and lessons I’ve embraced.”

He added: “I have had so many blessings in my life and
one of them is that I hold the torch to keep these songs alive for generations
to come. I take the responsibility very seriously. My end game for the new
record was to create a series of short cinematic stories for each song I chose
and have it stand on its own. I’m so proud of what we accomplished.” It’s plain
to see why he has such a huge fanbase. Michael doesn’t just sing about love –
he lives it!
